Some Inner Westies have had so much difficulty, they asked for and
received a backup mobile internet service from Telstra, which activates
automatically when the wired connection is not working. This requires a
Telstra "Smart Modem", with a SIM card in it. It automatically switches
to the mobile data network when the cable stops working (Vodafone offer
a similar service called "4G Backup").
Of course the wireless is slower, but at least it provides a service,
during wired outages.
